My dear Sir
May I ask you to help me, and, to send to me all that your records may contain of the following Rev. War soldiers and, believed to be pensioners.
The numbers included with some of the names are all old  new taken from the Draper Index of such Pension records.
I realize I am sending a long list, but, I can't find the help that pension papers give and I cannot finance the service of some one to do this for me.
I am not a paid genealogist. I am doing this work to find my own Rev. War Ancestors. and, no proof of one is at hand.
Both, the Rosy & Gallys family records are very well scattered abt and in hiding, far  well from many of us.

P.S.
